Foot Stool

This foot stool was re-covered using socks. In order to keep the harlequin theme, I plaited the socks as when lined up they form a diamond pattern. With the idea of feet ('foot' stool) in mind, I decided to stuff the socks for the legs of the stool, in order to create the effect of feet in a tip toe position. I feel that this was quite successful and the pun makes the piece more quirky.
Below are images of my foot stool.
